The Alternative Spring Break Trip is an immersive, interdisciplinary experience rooted in service to the surrounding community.
The program’s objective is to bridge the gap between students’ lives on campus and the richness of the life of our local community.
Students will explore various topics including public service and civic engagement, conservation, environmental health, Appalachian history, and societal issues. Service-learning projects with community partners will embed students in new communities, historically significant towns, and non-profit organizations.
Selected students will be asked to submit a non-refundable $50 deposit to reserve their spot. Lodging, transportation, and meals are provided at no additional cost.
